QuestionAnswer
________ move from areas of highest to lowest concentration Electrons
Why do electrons move during friction? The materials have different electron affinities (different tendencies to gain or lose electrons)
Electricity via Conduction Touching allows electrons to flow directly from one charged object to another object
Electrification by Induction Electrostatic induction plus grounding, resulting in a permanently charged object
Negatively charged metal rod touches a neutral metal sphere is an example of Electricity via Conduction
A nearby charged object causes electrons to rearrange within a good conductor material without touching Electrostatic Induction (Polarization)
Why do electrons move during during Induction? A close charged object causes electrons in the conductor to move inside that object
Polarized One side relatively negative, the other relatively positive
__________ Determines the force of electron travel (electron speed & x-ray penetrability) Potential Difference
Potential Difference- Exists with no current
Potential Difference is measured in? Volts
Volts- Unit of electric potential, ratio of energy to electric charge Represents the energy in a circuit 1 kV = 1000 V
Volts are the unit used to measure ________ Electrical Pressure
Weak Voltage = Small Potential Difference
Stronger Voltage = Large Potential Difference
Coulomb= Amount of electric charge
US Electric power sources = 110 Volts
X-ray machine requirement = 220 Volts
The rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor Current
Current is measured in Amperes (A)
Electrons flow in only one direction DIRECT CURRENT (DC)
Electrons Repeatedly reverse directions ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC)
DIRECT CURRENT (DC) Example Battery
ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) Example Household Wall Outlet
In the United States electricity alternates at 60 cycles per second
Resistance is measured in OHMs (Ω)
1 Ohm = The resistance between that allows a current of 1 ampere when a potential difference of 1 volt is applied
_________ measures energy per charge Voltage
________ measures charge flowing per second Current
_________ measures how difficult it is for charge to flow Resistance
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb of charge per second

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
